PATRIOTIC TRAVEL SOUVENIR COLLECTION

Posted on December 22, 2012 by D' Wanderer| Leave a comment

I don’t travel a lot, but I have friends who do and every time they go out of town or go out of the country they made sure they bring in souvenirs for us, well, that’s always the case being Filipinos have this custom to include the whole family in whatever they do, big or small.

In particular I have a friend who works for an international non-governmental organization that allows her to travel to practically all corners of the world, from the remotest and coldest place called Vostok and to places where people barely sleep, New York – collecting data that is relevant for their research and in all these trips, she never come home empty handed, she would always have something for us.

She used to collect mugs from all over, but eventually got tired and dropped the idea – it’s bulky and she’d often fix broken ones at home. Her latest craze were these patriotic travel souvenirs, she collects anything that bears the country’s flag colors on it. Her latest was this eyeglasses frame that resembles a New Caledonian flag, it was pretty – wish I could go to that place too.

She’s wallowing in snow right now with her family in Ohio, for sure she’ll be back with souvenirs having American flags on it, I wish it would be dozens of ref magnets this time, I’ve been dying to have aplenty, I’m coming up with a project that needs all these and I want authentic ones.

Meantime, if you’re also into this souvenir collection thing, you can visit www.allstarflags.com for more of great one-of-a-kind memento.

Happy Holidays!

TRAVEL POINTER: KEEP A SEPARATE LIST OF YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION

Posted on June 27, 2012 by D' Wanderer| 2 Comments

Here’s one important travel pointer I’d love to share with you guys.

You know technology can sometimes stood us in the middle of nowhere – if we’re not in luck we might lost, misplaced our cellphone or worst ran out of battery – a scenario paranoid travelers like me often fear to happen. It’s halleluiah if you have that photographic memory to remember all the important numbers in your contacts. But just in case you have short term memory loss tendencies like me, gosh, why am I so bad at memorizing numbers – KEEP A SEPARATE LIST OF YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION, tuck in your wallet or anywhere you can easily reach, I bet yah and you would thank me for this as it’s always a savior.

This comes very significant especially when there’s a delay in your flight or something unexpected happened – I’ve been saved by this travel strategy many times. Thanks to the cool strangers who have no angst lending me their cellphones, especially the Koreans, that for christsake, it’s actually another dilemma for me, I don’t know how to read Hangul and worst not knowing how to use their smartphones. Hahaha!
